FREE LGBTQIA+ Self-Defense!
Self-defense specifically for the LGBTQIA+ and allied community in a safe environment. As part of the LGBTQIA+ community, I have long wanted to do self-defense classes for those who feel more comfortable in a class with other like-minded individuals.
It is an unfortunate reality that we are a part of a group that tends to be targeted for not only violence, but verbal disparagement as well.

In this class I will teach you:
- How to find the proper self-defense mindset to change a freeze response into action
- Verbal de-escalation
- Situational awareness
- Indicators that precede violence
- Physical self-defense techniques such as bearhug defenses, choke defenses, strikes, kicks, knees, eye strikes, ground defense etc. What I do not cover in this class will be continued in future classes.
- Emphasis on self-value, confidence, and body language
- And having fun! Self-defense is a serious topic, but it can be approached in a lighthearted way that makes it less daunting. There will most definitely be some singing and dancing involved.
- Minors need to be accompanied by an adult.
WHAT SHOULD I WEAR/BRING? Wear whatever you are comfortable working out in. We train barefoot. Bring water.
